SAM provides additional monitoring options using component monitors, application monitors, and templates. Application monitor templates provide a powerful, customizable method to monitor applications in your environment. They help determine where errors occur: in the network or with the application. Every template includes component monitors that return metrics for monitoring performance, troubleshooting, threshold monitoring, and application health.

You can create a custom template, or use an existing template, to monitor applications on the cloud instances. For a list of all templates, see the SAM Template Guide.

For example, you may want to monitor your Linux OS on a Linux-based cloud instance in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. You need to add the Linux-based cloud instance as a node, build a template, and assign the template to the node.
